11 years of experience at your fingertips

I've always been drawn to the outdoors. Surfing, hiking, chasing sunsets in places that remind you how small you are and how big the world is. That love for nature evolved into something deeper: a commitment to protecting the spaces and communities we're part of.

Over the past 11 years, I've worked across marketing, from global brands with international presence to fledgling startups with big ideas and limited resources. But my best work? That happens when I'm working with businesses that share my values. Companies tackling ocean conservation, sustainable food systems, modular design and social impact.

I built Solaris Studio to work with purpose-driven businesses that need strategic marketing leadership without the corporate fluff. You get someone who can pivot quickly, deliver results, and actually cares about your mission. Whether it's building your LinkedIn presence, launching a new product, or figuring out your marketing strategy. I like to think my strongest skills lays with bringing clarity, execution, and a genuine commitment to helping you grow.
